Bottomland Forests of the Louisiana Plains

Project Description

The NativState - Bottomland Forests of the Louisiana Plains (PDA) is a programmatic development approach (PDA) to aggregated Improved Forest Management. PDA aggregates forestlands that have committed to maintaining forest CO2e stocks through sustainable management. The project will provide significant climate benefits through carbon sequestration from native forests that otherwise might not have been able to participate in the market individually due to smaller ownership size.

Risk of Potential Reversals

Nature-based projects like this one face some risk of reversal. Carbon storage may be affected by natural hazards such as wildfires, flooding, and escalating climate change impacts. Additionally, human-driven factors such as changes in land use or local governance structures can also impact carbon storage.
